Can BI embed binary timecode into Direct-To-Disk recordings w/o real-time transcoding?

I'm not referring to graphical timestamps burned into the video; I'm talking about binary timecode that embedded in the datastream that tells a computer exactly when each frame occurred.

I know that MP4 doesn't natively specify a way to embed timecode, but do any of the other BI export formats include timecode?

I want to use this to synchronize side-by-side videos that I export from BI and then reassemble into a single video in an external editor like Davinci Resolve. Resolve can automatically sync two video clips by audio waveform, but that only works if there's enough distinct sound in both clips to match up. Sometimes the coyotes are very quiet, and Resolve can't figure out how to sync.

Resolve can also sync by embedded timecode, but I haven't found a way to export from BI with timecode, unless I'm just doing it wrong.

Thanks!
